Sri Lanka Summer 2011 Overview

Overview

June-August 2011 marks the inaugural offering of AITI’s Mobile Technologies and Entrepreneurship course in Sri Lanka, in cooperation with the University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka’s premier technology and engineering university. During the six week course, Sri Lanka's best and brightest students will build real startups-- from ideation all the way through to initial launch. The course will culminate in a demo day in which the students will pitch their ventures to potential investors. Ultimately, AITI hopes that many of these startups will attract a round of funding, become profitable businesses, and contribute to a sustainable ecosystem for mobile entrepreneurship in Sri Lanka. Support for this year's program is made possible thanks to Google and MISTI, who continue to be generous patrons of AITI.
